Chen Yang furrowed his brows!
Indeed, there was a problem.
Is the company’s thriving scene all just an act?
Wow, they really know how to play it deep; if I hadn’t gone out of my way to check, I could’ve been fooled today.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, Chen Yang left the restroom first to avoid alarming them.
Just as he left, two won walked out from the ladies’ restroom.
They washed their hands and then left the restroom.
Chen Yang returned directly to General Manager Qi’s office.
Upon entering, he saw Liu Qingqing and General Manager Qi enthusiastically introducing the advantages of this project to Wang Jingman.
Had it been earlier, Chen Yang might have been interested in listening.
But now, knowing that it’s all lies, Chen Yang just wanted to laugh.
However, he didn’t expose them on the spot, choosing to quietly sit back in his original position.
He wanted to see just how far General Manager Qi would keep up the facade.
He also wanted to know whether Liu Qingqing was also deceived or colluding with General Manager Qi to trap those close to her.
Hoping to screw over Wang Jingman.
"Mr. Chen, you’re back. Would you like to take a look at the contract?" General Manager Qi smiled and handed the contract to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang smiled and shook his head, declining.
"No need for to look, as long as Jingman sees no issues." Chen Yang replied with a smile.
"Oh, okay." General Manager Qi imdiately turned to Wang Jingman and asked: "President Wang, you should know everything you need to, right? Are there any problems?"
Wang Jingman shook her head: "No issues, the project is a good one."
Chen Yang, standing aside, could tell Wang Jingman hadn’t noticed anything wrong.
General Manager Qi must have really worked hard to fool Wang Jingman.
Otherwise, there’s no way Wang Jingman wouldn’t have noticed anything off.
"Haha, since there are no issues, shall we sign the contract and discuss investnt? Ti is of the essence, President Wang." General Manager Qi quickly chid in.
"Jingman, I thought this project was so perfect that I brought you here to make money together. If there are no problems, let’s invest together. I’ll sign with you too." Liu Qingqing bead as she kindly handed over a pen.
Initially feeling it was a bit rushed, Wang Jingman prepared to invest thirty million within just a few hours.
It was indeed rather hasty.
But out of trust for Liu Qingqing, and since she’s also signing and investing, she didn’t hesitate to prepare to sign the contract and invest together!
And at this crucial mont, Chen Yang interrupted.
"Jingman, I’m afraid it can’t be done today." Chen Yang spoke up, then looked apologetically towards General Manager Qi and Liu Qingqing: "General Manager Qi, Director Liu, while we’re keen on investing in this project, unfortunately, we won’t be able to sign the contract today."
General Manager Qi, seeing the contract nearly finalized, was caught off guard by this little hiccup.
"Ah? Why not, Mr. Chen?"
"Because, unfortunately, Jingman and I just invested in a project yesterday, and in the rush to co here today, we don’t have enough cash on hand."
"Not enough money?" General Manager Qi was sowhat flabbergasted.
Chen Yang smiled and nodded: "Exactly, not enough funds, perhaps you could give us a day? We’ll pool our resources today and aim to sign the contract and pay tomorrow morning."
Beside him, hearing Chen Yang suddenly say this, Wang Jingman was quite taken aback.
However, with her high emotional intelligence, she quickly realized that Chen Yang was intentional, so her expression didn’t falter.
She even smiled and chid in: "Right, General Manager Qi, we’re really sorry, we didn’t know you were in such a hurry to invest, but rest assured, we’ll gather the funds quickly, and taking care of it by tomorrow won’t be an issue."
If it were any other issue, General Manager Qi might insist.
But with money not readily available, it was awkward to press further, so he glanced at Liu Qingqing.
And Liu Qingqing clearly didn’t expect this twist—that Wang Jingman didn’t have the funds readily available.
"Haha, Jingman, surely I’m aware of your family’s situation, though thirty million is a decent sum, gathering it is quite easy. This project is rare, you have to seize the opportunity." Liu Qingqing still tried to get Wang Jingman to sign the contract on the spot.
But understanding Chen Yang’s intention, Wang Jingman wouldn’t agree.
"Qingqing, I’ve grasped the project and seen it, naturally, I know it’s a profitable venture, but I don’t have enough now, and finding soone to pool money in front of General Manager Qi isn’t great... Let’s do it tomorrow, I’ll gather the funds today and co over tomorrow." Wang Jingman said, chuckling awkwardly.
Her response was quite appropriate.
Seeing Wang Jingman seed genuinely unprepared, General Manager Qi couldn’t argue further.
Pushing too hard might backfire.
"Haha, President Wang, if it’s inconvenient for you, delaying a day is fine. Signing the contract tomorrow is the sa, a day won’t delay too much, let’s have so tea." General Manager Qi cheerfully poured tea for Wang Jingman.
"Thank you, General Manager Qi, for understanding." Wang Jingman responded politely, settling the matter as such.
"Jingman, it’s getting late, should we go for a al together? It’s been a while since we’ve t, I’d like to catch up, my treat." After wrapping up business, Liu Qingqing promptly suggested taking Wang Jingman out for a al.
Such matters could hardly be refused, so Wang Jingman readily agreed.
"Sure, Qingqing, it’s been years since we’ve seen each other, there’s indeed much to talk about." Wang Jingman replied with a smile.
"Haha, who doesn’t? Rember when we were best buddies at school, but after graduation, we’ve rarely kept in touch, today we must hang out." Liu Qingqing held Wang Jingman’s hand, warmly said, then looked at General Manager Qi: "General Manager Qi, why don’t you join us for a casual al? We could also chat about the collaboration."
"Haha, I won’t go, you’re old classmates catching up, I’m not suitable. We’ve talked enough about the collaboration, nothing more to discuss, you go ahead." General Manager Qi declined with a smile.
"Alright then, we’ll head off now, General Manager Qi, let’s stay in touch about the collaboration." Liu Qingqing giggled, then imdiately looped her arm through Wang Jingman’s, leaving General Manager Qi’s office.
On the way out, Liu Qingqing linked arms with Wang Jingman, walking in the middle, with Chen Yang trailing beside them.
As they passed the company’s live streaming area, Liu Qingqing continued discussing the collaboration.
"Jingman, see, General Manager Qi’s company is thriving, which is why I brought you along for profit because we’re like sisters. Otherwise, I’d be too busy making money alone with such a good opportunity." Liu Qingqing said with a smile.
Wang Jingman didn’t realize the catch behind it all, on the surface and industry-wise, it was indeed a financial opportunity.
Thus, she nodded in agreent: "Yes, this matter deserves thanks, Qingqing. Once I make money, I’ll surely treat you to a big al to show gratitude."
"Haha, alright, it’s settled then, no reneging."
"I certainly won’t back out."
The two laughed and chatted, arm in arm, as they left the company.
